Thematic Bible: His father and brothers forbidden to mourn

Moses said to Aaron and to his sons Eleazar and Ithamar: Do not leave your hair uncombed or tear your clothes to show that you are in mourning. If you do you will die. For Jehovah will be angry with the whole community. But all other Israelites are allowed to mourn this death caused by the fire Jehovah sent. You are Jehovah's chosen priests. You must not leave the sacred tent, or you will die. Aaron and his two sons obeyed Moses.
